Your feature would be triggered when addressing an edited template to an addressee with an AB template. So if I want to use my account template for a contact with an AB template I start editing a message and afterwards set the addressee. Apart from that I never claimed that I don't make typos in header fields, but merely that that I check the recipient after typing. Check my new messages to the tb-lists and you'll see that I make plenty of typos in the subject header, that's why I'm in favour of spell control for the subject. MB> 2) Do you MB> 2a) Use manually typed "handles" to invoke addresses in the To: field? Hardly, my tendency to check the address before leaving the To: field causes the autocomplete to be triggered with my most common handles. But when your wish would be implemented I've no illusions whatsoever that the question will be triggered by handles only. TB makes no difference between handles and other addresses. MB> 2b) Have %ENCRYPTCOMPLETE in the AB templates of any contacts for whom MB> you regularly use manually typed-in handles? I don't %EncryptComplete for any of the contacts in my AB, nor did your wish state that you only wanted the alert triggered for just those cases. I could live with that, though I'd prefer an AB option like 'always encrypt messages to this contact' above an alert about templates. >> The reasoning behind this feature is to make sure that the computer >> takes care of your not making mistakes, but you're the brains of the >> pair not the computer.

You got lots of sympathy and you were offered ways to prevent your problem within TB's current possibilities. But there's no way to make these things absolutely fool proof. Next somebody (not necessarily you) types siss in stead of sis and starts complaining that it got send to a user siss at the same ISP (because that's the way these things work), so the suggestion comes that TB shouldn't send to addresses without a domain. There's always an extra safety wish and somebody who's bothered by it. -- Groetjes, Roelof Nobody notices when things go right, and I'm noticed. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 3.85.03 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM
